found deisel water and gas in my tank

[HUM GOOD]

I stopped at a local mom and pop gas station and topped off my tank. 1 mile down the rode the truck died. Roadside delivered it to my dealer. They called fuelpump. 85,000 miles not a surprise to me. But when they began to drain the tank they found LOTS of water and a blue tint which they say is deisel.
they say:
needs tank
needs all new injecters
plus seal kits
etc.

am I safe to just have them flush out and put fresh gas in with some injecter cleaner and be on my way?

They claim the injecters are in danger of contamination.

I have a meeting set with the owner of the gas station tonight. I am going to have him pay for this or take him to court.

Why on earth would you need a new tank?!?! That right there tells me they're trying to phuck you over.

[HUM GOOD]

Yes TXSUT - i agree

I just left the stealership - I am having them drain the system - put in the new fuel pump - fill the tank and move on...after picking it up I will add some additive to help get rid of any condesation left in the system.

Your dealer is just trying to get it right the first time (maximiseing his profit that is ) you should post the name of the dealer so others won't suffer the same rip off in the future . flush tank,new filter,new pump,fresh fuel 2 cans of Seafoam drive on. if the injectors are indeed bad you can change the later if needed ,but very doubtfull .

Dealership is Royal Cadillac/Hummer in Florham Park, NJ
They didn't push the issue, just said it was their suggestion, and it is their policy to completely inform their customers of any possibilities of long term damage.
My policy - "IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT"

What is this SEAFOAM? Where can I purchase it? and what does it do?

Thanks for your help -IRA51

Florham park ,small world I lived in Morristown in the 70's and we used to go to Florham park to get Tacos at the only Jack in the box for 40 miles . any Nappa should have it and it will clean you fuel injectors and cumbustion chambers like nothing else .

Here in Canada where people don't whine if we find water we make Coffee we find blue tint we dye our clothes and we keep on going remembering that 80 % of our secondary roads are like off roading anyway

Here in the USA we want to get what we pay for and don't like getting screwed over.

I'm sorry, but if anyone has this happen, get a 6 foot line of hose, 5 gallons of gas and some sea foam. So all of you now I am not preaching, I stole gas from my to-be father in law and put 20 gallons of diesel in a 1974 corvette with a 454. I got about 1/2 mile from the farm when all hell broke loose. My soon to be brother in law helped me siphon out the diesel and got the gas and sea foam in. Granted, when getting on it, it smoked pretty heavy but after a couple of weeks, it run great. For you old guys, I paid $5,486.00 for the brand new sting ray in 1974. It seems that $2500 is stealing and they probably used the same method........Oh well, it is only money and I'm glad your off and running.

The deisel isn't what caused the problem - don't get me wrong - I GOT SHAFTED ON THE $2500 - it's okay to get diesel in a gas engine - BUT NEVER - EVER - get gas in a deisel engine, you'll be sending some pistons for a ride......

If it weren't for the USA, we'd be royally screwed, so go shove your fake Canadian pride. If you really loved Canada, you'd have enough sense to respect our neighbors to the south.

Sometimes I wish we were more like American's, not afraid to speak our minds and stand up for something we believe in. Problem is, it seems like we don't know what we believe in anymore. Besides Hockey...

So quit the damn nonsense, you'd be the first to cry to the USA if we ever needed help.

Long live USA and Canada
